I bought this van a few months ago and was told to beware of rust on the pan ( after I already bought it) I gently snadblasted the pan using a pressurized sand blaster at under 60 psi and was ready to prime and paint with rustoleum and lo and behold oil started dripping from a spot on the bottom. I plugged it with a self tapping screw and teflon tape to prevent loosing all the oil and now realize the pan must me piited all over.. Now for the Q - does the engine need to be pulled or can it be raised.. to install a new pan?

Thank you for your help.. Also some say that the dealers drill out the crossmember Is this true..

Good luck to you!! Hope your oil pans don't rust out !! Cause pullin the tranny and raising the engine get a bit pricey.. where did the Ford quality go?? Just dig a bit into you pocket and wham bam thank you mam.. Hey I thank you all for the help !! HA HA !!

GOOD LUCK 2 all ya Ford Suckers !!
